Israelis must remain united in the wake of yesterday’s combat deaths of 21 IDF servicemen in Gaza, Minister Benny Gantz declares, sending his “heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen and wishes of recovery to the wounded.”
“On this difficult morning, we must be united, remember the heavy price we are forced to pay for such a just war and the lofty goal for which our heroes fell – to secure our future, to return our daughters and sons, and to take care of Israel forever,” the former IDF chief of staff and current member of the war cabinet says in a tweet.
“Especially today, we are sending strength to all IDF soldiers and their commanders. We are all behind you.”
